--- name: Vulnerability Scanning & Assessment description: Dependency auditing, CVE detection, configuration security review, CVSS scoring, and prioritized vulnerability reporting version: 3.0.0 author: Masriyan tags: [cybersecurity, vulnerability, scanning, cve, cvss, audit, assessment, dependency] ---
# Vulnerability Scanning & Assessment
## Purpose
Enable Claude to perform comprehensive vulnerability assessments by directly analyzing dependency files, configuration files, and scan output — then generating prioritized, actionable reports. Claude identifies vulnerabilities, calculates risk, and prescribes remediation with version specifics.
---
## Activation Triggers
This skill activates when the user asks about: - Scanning dependencies for known CVEs - Auditing `requirements.txt`, `package.json`, `go.mod`, `pom.xml`, `Cargo.toml` - Reviewing server configurations for security issues - CVSS scoring or severity calculation - Vulnerability assessment or security audit reports - Checking software versions against known exploits - Configuration hardening for nginx, Apache, SSH, Docker, Kubernetes - NVD, OSV, or CVE database queries
---
## Prerequisites
```bash pip install requests packaging jinja2 pyyaml ```
**Optional enhanced tools:** - `nuclei` — Template-based vulnerability scanner - `trivy` — Container and filesystem scanner - `nmap` with NSE scripts — Network vuln scanning - `openvas` — Full vulnerability management
---
## Core Capabilities
### 1. Dependency Vulnerability Auditing
Claude can directly read and analyze dependency files:
**When the user asks to audit dependencies:**
1. **Read the dependency file** using Claude's Read tool or ask the user to paste it 2. **Identify package manager** from file format: - `requirements.txt` / `Pipfile.lock` / `pyproject.toml` → Python/pip - `package.json` / `package-lock.json` / `yarn.lock` → Node.js/npm - `go.mod` / `go.sum` → Go modules - `pom.xml` / `build.gradle` → Java/Maven/Gradle - `Cargo.toml` / `Cargo.lock` → Rust/Cargo - `Gemfile.lock` → Ruby/Bundler - `composer.lock` → PHP/Composer 3. **Extract exact versions** for all direct and transitive dependencies 4. **Query vulnerability databases** — Claude can search NVD API, OSV, and GitHub Advisory Database for each package+version combination 5. **Calculate CVSS v3.1 severity** for each finding 6. **Check for available patches** — identify the minimum safe version 7. **Generate prioritized remediation report**
**Use this command to run the automated audit:** ```bash python scripts/dependency_auditor.py --project-dir ./myapp --format json --output audit.json python scripts/dependency_auditor.py --requirements requirements.txt --severity high,critical ```
**Claude's native analysis** — When running without scripts, analyze pasted dependency content directly: - Flag packages with `>= `, `*`, or missing version pins (supply chain risk) - Identify known high-risk packages (log4j, spring-core, struts, etc.) - Cross-reference with CISA KEV (Known Exploited Vulnerabilities) catalog
### 2. Configuration Security Auditing
Claude can directly read and analyze configuration files:
**When the user asks to audit a configuration:**
#### Nginx Audit Checklist ``` [ ] ssl_protocols — Must NOT include SSLv2, SSLv3, TLSv1, TLSv1.1 [ ] ssl_ciphers — Must not include RC4, DES, MD5, EXPORT ciphers [ ] server_tokens — Should be 'off' (hides version) [ ] add_header X-Frame-Options — Required (SAMEORIGIN or DENY) [ ] add_header X-Content-Type-Options — Required (nosniff) [ ] add_header Strict-Transport-Security — Required (min 1 year) [ ] add_header Content-Security-Policy — Required [ ] autoindex — Must be 'off' (prevents directory listing) [ ] client_max_body_size — Should be set (prevents DoS) [ ] access_log / error_log — Must be enabled ```
#### SSH (sshd_config) Audit Checklist ``` [ ] PermitRootLogin — Should be 'no' or 'prohibit-password' [ ] PasswordAuthentication — Should be 'no' (key-only) [ ] PermitEmptyPasswords — Must be 'no' [ ] Protocol — Should be '2' only [ ] Port — Consider non-default port [ ] AllowUsers / AllowGroups — Explicit allowlist preferred [ ] MaxAuthTries — Should be 3-5 [ ] LoginGraceTime — Should be 30-60s [ ] ClientAliveInterval — Enable session timeout [ ] X11Forwarding — Should be 'no' if unused [ ] UsePAM — Review PAM configuration ```
#### Docker/Dockerfile Audit Checklist ``` [ ] USER — Must not run as root; add non-root user [ ] Image tags — Must not use 'latest'; pin specific digest [ ] COPY vs ADD — Prefer COPY; ADD has implicit extraction risks [ ] Secrets — No RUN commands with passwords/tokens [ ] Multi-stage builds — Minimize attack surface [ ] HEALTHCHECK — Define health monitoring [ ] .dockerignore — Exclude .env, keys, secrets [ ] Read-only filesystem — Use --read-only where possible ```
#### Kubernetes YAML Audit Checklist ``` [ ] securityContext.runAsNonRoot — Must be true [ ] securityContext.readOnlyRootFilesystem — Should be true [ ] securityContext.allowPrivilegeEscalation — Must be false [ ] capabilities — Drop ALL, add only required [ ] resources.limits — CPU and memory limits required [ ] NetworkPolicy — Restrict pod-to-pod communication [ ] ServiceAccount — Disable automount if not needed [ ] secrets — Use sealed secrets or external vaults [ ] hostPID/hostIPC/hostNetwork — Must be false [ ] privileged — Must never be true in production ```
### 3. CVSS v3.1 Scoring
**When the user asks to calculate CVSS or assess severity:**
Claude can calculate CVSS v3.1 scores from the vector string or from a vulnerability description:
**CVSS v3.1 Metrics:** | Metric | Values | Description | |--------|--------|-------------| | Attack Vector (AV) | N/A/L/P | Network/Adjacent/Local/Physical | | Attack Complexity (AC) | L/H | Low/High | | Privileges Required (PR) | N/L/H | None/Low/High | | User Interaction (UI) | N/R | None/Required | | Scope (S) | U/C | Unchanged/Changed | | Confidentiality (C) | N/L/H | None/Low/High | | Integrity (I) | N/L/H | None/Low/High | | Availability (A) | N/L/H | None/Low/High |
**Severity Ranges:** | Score | Severity | |-------|----------| | 0.0 | None | | 0.1–3.9 | Low | | 4.0–6.9 | Medium | | 7.0–8.9 | High | | 9.0–10.0 | Critical |
**Example calculation:** - Remote unauthenticated RCE: `AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H` → 10.0 (Critical) - Local privilege escalation: `AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H` → 7.8 (High)
```bash python scripts/cvss_calculator.py --vector "AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H" ```
### 4. Network Vulnerability Scanning Integration
**When the user provides Nmap scan results or asks to scan for vulnerabilities:**
1. Parse Nmap XML/grepable output for open services and versions 2. Map each service+version to known CVEs 3. Flag services with default credentials (check CVE/common credential lists) 4. Identify critical misconfigurations (anonymous FTP, open relay, telnet, etc.) 5. Provide targeted Nmap NSE script commands for deeper testing:
```bash # Vulnerability scanning with NSE nmap -sV --script vuln -p 80,443,22,21,3389 target.com
# SMB vulnerability check (EternalBlue, etc.) nmap -p 445 --script smb-vuln* target.com
# SSL/TLS vulnerability check nmap -p 443 --script ssl-enum-ciphers,ssl-heartbleed,ssl-poodle target.com ```
### 5. Vulnerability Report Generation
**When the user asks for a vulnerability report:**
Generate reports in this structure:
```markdown # Vulnerability Assessment Report **Target:** [Target Name/IP Range] **Date:** [Date] **Scope:** [Authorized scope] **Assessor:** [Name]
---
## Executive Summary [2-3 sentences: what was tested, total findings by severity, top risk]
## Finding Summary | Severity | Count | Examples | |----------|-------|---------| | Critical | 2 | CVE-2021-44228 (Log4Shell), Unauthenticated RCE | | High | 5 | Outdated TLS, SQLi in /api/users | | Medium | 12 | Missing security headers, verbose errors | | Low | 8 | Information disclosure, weak ciphers | | Info | 15 | Version disclosure, directory listing |

## v3.0 Enhancements (2026 Update)
**Risk-based prioritization beyond raw CVSS:**
- **CVSS 4.0** — score with the current standard (Base/Threat/Environmental/Supplemental); show the vector string and note when only v3.1 data exists. - **EPSS + CISA KEV** — combine **CVSS severity × EPSS exploit-probability × KEV membership**. A medium-CVSS CVE that is in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog or has high EPSS outranks a high-CVSS CVE with no exploitation signal. Always state "patch-first" order on this combined basis. - **SBOM + VEX** — generate a CycloneDX/SPDX SBOM of the project and emit VEX statements (`affected` / `not_affected` / `fixed`) so consumers know which CVEs are actually reachable. - **Reachability analysis** — flag whether a vulnerable function is actually called (call-graph/import reachability) to cut false-positive noise from transitive deps. - **OSV.dev** — query the OSV API for ecosystem-precise advisories (PyPI, npm, Go, crates, Maven) in addition to NVD.
**Output rule:** every finding row carries `CVSS | EPSS | KEV(Y/N) | Reachable(Y/N/Unknown) | Fix`.

# Vulnerability Scanning & Assessment
## Purpose
Enable Claude to perform comprehensive vulnerability assessments by directly analyzing dependency files, configuration files, and scan output — then generating prioritized, actionable reports. Claude identifies vulnerabilities, calculates risk, and prescribes remediation with version specifics.
---
## Activation Triggers
This skill activates when the user asks about: - Scanning dependencies for known CVEs - Auditing `requirements.txt`, `package.json`, `go.mod`, `pom.xml`, `Cargo.toml` - Reviewing server configurations for security issues - CVSS scoring or severity calculation - Vulnerability assessment or security audit reports - Checking software versions against known exploits - Configuration hardening for nginx, Apache, SSH, Docker, Kubernetes - NVD, OSV, or CVE database queries
---
## Prerequisites
```bash pip install requests packaging jinja2 pyyaml ```
**Optional enhanced tools:** - `nuclei` — Template-based vulnerability scanner - `trivy` — Container and filesystem scanner - `nmap` with NSE scripts — Network vuln scanning - `openvas` — Full vulnerability management
---
## Core Capabilities
### 1. Dependency Vulnerability Auditing
Claude can directly read and analyze dependency files:
**When the user asks to audit dependencies:**
1. **Read the dependency file** using Claude's Read tool or ask the user to paste it 2. **Identify package manager** from file format: - `requirements.txt` / `Pipfile.lock` / `pyproject.toml` → Python/pip - `package.json` / `package-lock.json` / `yarn.lock` → Node.js/npm - `go.mod` / `go.sum` → Go modules - `pom.xml` / `build.gradle` → Java/Maven/Gradle - `Cargo.toml` / `Cargo.lock` → Rust/Cargo - `Gemfile.lock` → Ruby/Bundler - `composer.lock` → PHP/Composer 3. **Extract exact versions** for all direct and transitive dependencies 4. **Query vulnerability databases** — Claude can search NVD API, OSV, and GitHub Advisory Database for each package+version combination 5. **Calculate CVSS v3.1 severity** for each finding 6. **Check for available patches** — identify the minimum safe version 7. **Generate prioritized remediation report**
**Use this command to run the automated audit:** ```bash python scripts/dependency_auditor.py --project-dir ./myapp --format json --output audit.json python scripts/dependency_auditor.py --requirements requirements.txt --severity high,critical ```
**Claude's native analysis** — When running without scripts, analyze pasted dependency content directly: - Flag packages with `>= `, `*`, or missing version pins (supply chain risk) - Identify known high-risk packages (log4j, spring-core, struts, etc.) - Cross-reference with CISA KEV (Known Exploited Vulnerabilities) catalog
### 2. Configuration Security Auditing
Claude can directly read and analyze configuration files:
**When the user asks to audit a configuration:**
#### Nginx Audit Checklist ``` [ ] ssl_protocols — Must NOT include SSLv2, SSLv3, TLSv1, TLSv1.1 [ ] ssl_ciphers — Must not include RC4, DES, MD5, EXPORT ciphers [ ] server_tokens — Should be 'off' (hides version) [ ] add_header X-Frame-Options — Required (SAMEORIGIN or DENY) [ ] add_header X-Content-Type-Options — Required (nosniff) [ ] add_header Strict-Transport-Security — Required (min 1 year) [ ] add_header Content-Security-Policy — Required [ ] autoindex — Must be 'off' (prevents directory listing) [ ] client_max_body_size — Should be set (prevents DoS) [ ] access_log / error_log — Must be enabled ```
#### SSH (sshd_config) Audit Checklist ``` [ ] PermitRootLogin — Should be 'no' or 'prohibit-password' [ ] PasswordAuthentication — Should be 'no' (key-only) [ ] PermitEmptyPasswords — Must be 'no' [ ] Protocol — Should be '2' only [ ] Port — Consider non-default port [ ] AllowUsers / AllowGroups — Explicit allowlist preferred [ ] MaxAuthTries — Should be 3-5 [ ] LoginGraceTime — Should be 30-60s [ ] ClientAliveInterval — Enable session timeout [ ] X11Forwarding — Should be 'no' if unused [ ] UsePAM — Review PAM configuration ```
#### Docker/Dockerfile Audit Checklist ``` [ ] USER — Must not run as root; add non-root user [ ] Image tags — Must not use 'latest'; pin specific digest [ ] COPY vs ADD — Prefer COPY; ADD has implicit extraction risks [ ] Secrets — No RUN commands with passwords/tokens [ ] Multi-stage builds — Minimize attack surface [ ] HEALTHCHECK — Define health monitoring [ ] .dockerignore — Exclude .env, keys, secrets [ ] Read-only filesystem — Use --read-only where possible ```
#### Kubernetes YAML Audit Checklist ``` [ ] securityContext.runAsNonRoot — Must be true [ ] securityContext.readOnlyRootFilesystem — Should be true [ ] securityContext.allowPrivilegeEscalation — Must be false [ ] capabilities — Drop ALL, add only required [ ] resources.limits — CPU and memory limits required [ ] NetworkPolicy — Restrict pod-to-pod communication [ ] ServiceAccount — Disable automount if not needed [ ] secrets — Use sealed secrets or external vaults [ ] hostPID/hostIPC/hostNetwork — Must be false [ ] privileged — Must never be true in production ```
### 3. CVSS v3.1 Scoring
**When the user asks to calculate CVSS or assess severity:**
Claude can calculate CVSS v3.1 scores from the vector string or from a vulnerability description:
**CVSS v3.1 Metrics:** | Metric | Values | Description | |--------|--------|-------------| | Attack Vector (AV) | N/A/L/P | Network/Adjacent/Local/Physical | | Attack Complexity (AC) | L/H | Low/High | | Privileges Required (PR) | N/L/H | None/Low/High | | User Interaction (UI) | N/R | None/Required | | Scope (S) | U/C | Unchanged/Changed | | Confidentiality (C) | N/L/H | None/Low/High | | Integrity (I) | N/L/H | None/Low/High | | Availability (A) | N/L/H | None/Low/High |
**Severity Ranges:** | Score | Severity | |-------|----------| | 0.0 | None | | 0.1–3.9 | Low | | 4.0–6.9 | Medium | | 7.0–8.9 | High | | 9.0–10.0 | Critical |
**Example calculation:** - Remote unauthenticated RCE: `AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H` → 10.0 (Critical) - Local privilege escalation: `AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H` → 7.8 (High)
```bash python scripts/cvss_calculator.py --vector "AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H" ```
### 4. Network Vulnerability Scanning Integration
**When the user provides Nmap scan results or asks to scan for vulnerabilities:**
1. Parse Nmap XML/grepable output for open services and versions 2. Map each service+version to known CVEs 3. Flag services with default credentials (check CVE/common credential lists) 4. Identify critical misconfigurations (anonymous FTP, open relay, telnet, etc.) 5. Provide targeted Nmap NSE script commands for deeper testing:
```bash # Vulnerability scanning with NSE nmap -sV --script vuln -p 80,443,22,21,3389 target.com
# SMB vulnerability check (EternalBlue, etc.) nmap -p 445 --script smb-vuln* target.com
# SSL/TLS vulnerability check nmap -p 443 --script ssl-enum-ciphers,ssl-heartbleed,ssl-poodle target.com ```
### 5. Vulnerability Report Generation
**When the user asks for a vulnerability report:**
Generate reports in this structure:
```markdown # Vulnerability Assessment Report **Target:** [Target Name/IP Range] **Date:** [Date] **Scope:** [Authorized scope] **Assessor:** [Name]
---
## Executive Summary [2-3 sentences: what was tested, total findings by severity, top risk]
## Finding Summary | Severity | Count | Examples | |----------|-------|---------| | Critical | 2 | CVE-2021-44228 (Log4Shell), Unauthenticated RCE | | High | 5 | Outdated TLS, SQLi in /api/users | | Medium | 12 | Missing security headers, verbose errors | | Low | 8 | Information disclosure, weak ciphers | | Info | 15 | Version disclosure, directory listing |

## v3.0 Enhancements (2026 Update)
**Risk-based prioritization beyond raw CVSS:**
- **CVSS 4.0** — score with the current standard (Base/Threat/Environmental/Supplemental); show the vector string and note when only v3.1 data exists. - **EPSS + CISA KEV** — combine **CVSS severity × EPSS exploit-probability × KEV membership**. A medium-CVSS CVE that is in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog or has high EPSS outranks a high-CVSS CVE with no exploitation signal. Always state "patch-first" order on this combined basis. - **SBOM + VEX** — generate a CycloneDX/SPDX SBOM of the project and emit VEX statements (`affected` / `not_affected` / `fixed`) so consumers know which CVEs are actually reachable. - **Reachability analysis** — flag whether a vulnerable function is actually called (call-graph/import reachability) to cut false-positive noise from transitive deps. - **OSV.dev** — query the OSV API for ecosystem-precise advisories (PyPI, npm, Go, crates, Maven) in addition to NVD.
**Output rule:** every finding row carries `CVSS | EPSS | KEV(Y/N) | Reachable(Y/N/Unknown) | Fix`.

## Core Capabilities
### 1. Dependency Vulnerability Auditing
Claude can directly read and analyze dependency files:
**When the user asks to audit dependencies:**
1. **Read the dependency file** using Claude's Read tool or ask the user to paste it 2. **Identify package manager** from file format: - `requirements.txt` / `Pipfile.lock` / `pyproject.toml` → Python/pip - `package.json` / `package-lock.json` / `yarn.lock` → Node.js/npm - `go.mod` / `go.sum` → Go modules - `pom.xml` / `build.gradle` → Java/Maven/Gradle - `Cargo.toml` / `Cargo.lock` → Rust/Cargo - `Gemfile.lock` → Ruby/Bundler - `composer.lock` → PHP/Composer 3. **Extract exact versions** for all direct and transitive dependencies 4. **Query vulnerability databases** — Claude can search NVD API, OSV, and GitHub Advisory Database for each package+version combination 5. **Calculate CVSS v3.1 severity** for each finding 6. **Check for available patches** — identify the minimum safe version 7. **Generate prioritized remediation report**
**Use this command to run the automated audit:** ```bash python scripts/dependency_auditor.py --project-dir ./myapp --format json --output audit.json python scripts/dependency_auditor.py --requirements requirements.txt --severity high,critical ```
**Claude's native analysis** — When running without scripts, analyze pasted dependency content directly: - Flag packages with `>= `, `*`, or missing version pins (supply chain risk) - Identify known high-risk packages (log4j, spring-core, struts, etc.) - Cross-reference with CISA KEV (Known Exploited Vulnerabilities) catalog
### 2. Configuration Security Auditing

### 3. CVSS v3.1 Scoring
**When the user asks to calculate CVSS or assess severity:**
Claude can calculate CVSS v3.1 scores from the vector string or from a vulnerability description:

### 4. Network Vulnerability Scanning Integration
**When the user provides Nmap scan results or asks to scan for vulnerabilities:**
1. Parse Nmap XML/grepable output for open services and versions 2. Map each service+version to known CVEs 3. Flag services with default credentials (check CVE/common credential lists) 4. Identify critical misconfigurations (anonymous FTP, open relay, telnet, etc.) 5. Provide targeted Nmap NSE script commands for deeper testing:
```bash # Vulnerability scanning with NSE nmap -sV --script vuln -p 80,443,22,21,3389 target.com
# SMB vulnerability check (EternalBlue, etc.) nmap -p 445 --script smb-vuln* target.com
# SSL/TLS vulnerability check nmap -p 443 --script ssl-enum-ciphers,ssl-heartbleed,ssl-poodle target.com ```
### 5. Vulnerability Report Generation

## v3.0 Enhancements (2026 Update)
**Risk-based prioritization beyond raw CVSS:**
- **CVSS 4.0** — score with the current standard (Base/Threat/Environmental/Supplemental); show the vector string and note when only v3.1 data exists. - **EPSS + CISA KEV** — combine **CVSS severity × EPSS exploit-probability × KEV membership**. A medium-CVSS CVE that is in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog or has high EPSS outranks a high-CVSS CVE with no exploitation signal. Always state "patch-first" order on this combined basis. - **SBOM + VEX** — generate a CycloneDX/SPDX SBOM of the project and emit VEX statements (`affected` / `not_affected` / `fixed`) so consumers know which CVEs are actually reachable. - **Reachability analysis** — flag whether a vulnerable function is actually called (call-graph/import reachability) to cut false-positive noise from transitive deps. - **OSV.dev** — query the OSV API for ecosystem-precise advisories (PyPI, npm, Go, crates, Maven) in addition to NVD.
**Output rule:** every finding row carries `CVSS | EPSS | KEV(Y/N) | Reachable(Y/N/Unknown) | Fix`.

# Vulnerability Scanning & Assessment
## Purpose
Enable Claude to perform comprehensive vulnerability assessments by directly analyzing dependency files, configuration files, and scan output — then generating prioritized, actionable reports. Claude identifies vulnerabilities, calculates risk, and prescribes remediation with version specifics.
---
## Activation Triggers
This skill activates when the user asks about: - Scanning dependencies for known CVEs - Auditing `requirements.txt`, `package.json`, `go.mod`, `pom.xml`, `Cargo.toml` - Reviewing server configurations for security issues - CVSS scoring or severity calculation - Vulnerability assessment or security audit reports - Checking software versions against known exploits - Configuration hardening for nginx, Apache, SSH, Docker, Kubernetes - NVD, OSV, or CVE database queries
---
## Prerequisites
```bash pip install requests packaging jinja2 pyyaml ```
**Optional enhanced tools:** - `nuclei` — Template-based vulnerability scanner - `trivy` — Container and filesystem scanner - `nmap` with NSE scripts — Network vuln scanning - `openvas` — Full vulnerability management
---
## Core Capabilities
### 1. Dependency Vulnerability Auditing
Claude can directly read and analyze dependency files:
**When the user asks to audit dependencies:**
1. **Read the dependency file** using Claude's Read tool or ask the user to paste it 2. **Identify package manager** from file format: - `requirements.txt` / `Pipfile.lock` / `pyproject.toml` → Python/pip - `package.json` / `package-lock.json` / `yarn.lock` → Node.js/npm - `go.mod` / `go.sum` → Go modules - `pom.xml` / `build.gradle` → Java/Maven/Gradle - `Cargo.toml` / `Cargo.lock` → Rust/Cargo - `Gemfile.lock` → Ruby/Bundler - `composer.lock` → PHP/Composer 3. **Extract exact versions** for all direct and transitive dependencies 4. **Query vulnerability databases** — Claude can search NVD API, OSV, and GitHub Advisory Database for each package+version combination 5. **Calculate CVSS v3.1 severity** for each finding 6. **Check for available patches** — identify the minimum safe version 7. **Generate prioritized remediation report**
**Use this command to run the automated audit:** ```bash python scripts/dependency_auditor.py --project-dir ./myapp --format json --output audit.json python scripts/dependency_auditor.py --requirements requirements.txt --severity high,critical ```
**Claude's native analysis** — When running without scripts, analyze pasted dependency content directly: - Flag packages with `>= `, `*`, or missing version pins (supply chain risk) - Identify known high-risk packages (log4j, spring-core, struts, etc.) - Cross-reference with CISA KEV (Known Exploited Vulnerabilities) catalog
### 2. Configuration Security Auditing
Claude can directly read and analyze configuration files:
**When the user asks to audit a configuration:**
#### Nginx Audit Checklist ``` [ ] ssl_protocols — Must NOT include SSLv2, SSLv3, TLSv1, TLSv1.1 [ ] ssl_ciphers — Must not include RC4, DES, MD5, EXPORT ciphers [ ] server_tokens — Should be 'off' (hides version) [ ] add_header X-Frame-Options — Required (SAMEORIGIN or DENY) [ ] add_header X-Content-Type-Options — Required (nosniff) [ ] add_header Strict-Transport-Security — Required (min 1 year) [ ] add_header Content-Security-Policy — Required [ ] autoindex — Must be 'off' (prevents directory listing) [ ] client_max_body_size — Should be set (prevents DoS) [ ] access_log / error_log — Must be enabled ```
#### SSH (sshd_config) Audit Checklist ``` [ ] PermitRootLogin — Should be 'no' or 'prohibit-password' [ ] PasswordAuthentication — Should be 'no' (key-only) [ ] PermitEmptyPasswords — Must be 'no' [ ] Protocol — Should be '2' only [ ] Port — Consider non-default port [ ] AllowUsers / AllowGroups — Explicit allowlist preferred [ ] MaxAuthTries — Should be 3-5 [ ] LoginGraceTime — Should be 30-60s [ ] ClientAliveInterval — Enable session timeout [ ] X11Forwarding — Should be 'no' if unused [ ] UsePAM — Review PAM configuration ```
#### Docker/Dockerfile Audit Checklist ``` [ ] USER — Must not run as root; add non-root user [ ] Image tags — Must not use 'latest'; pin specific digest [ ] COPY vs ADD — Prefer COPY; ADD has implicit extraction risks [ ] Secrets — No RUN commands with passwords/tokens [ ] Multi-stage builds — Minimize attack surface [ ] HEALTHCHECK — Define health monitoring [ ] .dockerignore — Exclude .env, keys, secrets [ ] Read-only filesystem — Use --read-only where possible ```
#### Kubernetes YAML Audit Checklist ``` [ ] securityContext.runAsNonRoot — Must be true [ ] securityContext.readOnlyRootFilesystem — Should be true [ ] securityContext.allowPrivilegeEscalation — Must be false [ ] capabilities — Drop ALL, add only required [ ] resources.limits — CPU and memory limits required [ ] NetworkPolicy — Restrict pod-to-pod communication [ ] ServiceAccount — Disable automount if not needed [ ] secrets — Use sealed secrets or external vaults [ ] hostPID/hostIPC/hostNetwork — Must be false [ ] privileged — Must never be true in production ```
### 3. CVSS v3.1 Scoring
**When the user asks to calculate CVSS or assess severity:**
Claude can calculate CVSS v3.1 scores from the vector string or from a vulnerability description:
**CVSS v3.1 Metrics:** | Metric | Values | Description | |--------|--------|-------------| | Attack Vector (AV) | N/A/L/P | Network/Adjacent/Local/Physical | | Attack Complexity (AC) | L/H | Low/High | | Privileges Required (PR) | N/L/H | None/Low/High | | User Interaction (UI) | N/R | None/Required | | Scope (S) | U/C | Unchanged/Changed | | Confidentiality (C) | N/L/H | None/Low/High | | Integrity (I) | N/L/H | None/Low/High | | Availability (A) | N/L/H | None/Low/High |
**Severity Ranges:** | Score | Severity | |-------|----------| | 0.0 | None | | 0.1–3.9 | Low | | 4.0–6.9 | Medium | | 7.0–8.9 | High | | 9.0–10.0 | Critical |
**Example calculation:** - Remote unauthenticated RCE: `AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H` → 10.0 (Critical) - Local privilege escalation: `AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H` → 7.8 (High)
```bash python scripts/cvss_calculator.py --vector "AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H" ```
### 4. Network Vulnerability Scanning Integration
**When the user provides Nmap scan results or asks to scan for vulnerabilities:**
1. Parse Nmap XML/grepable output for open services and versions 2. Map each service+version to known CVEs 3. Flag services with default credentials (check CVE/common credential lists) 4. Identify critical misconfigurations (anonymous FTP, open relay, telnet, etc.) 5. Provide targeted Nmap NSE script commands for deeper testing:
```bash # Vulnerability scanning with NSE nmap -sV --script vuln -p 80,443,22,21,3389 target.com
# SMB vulnerability check (EternalBlue, etc.) nmap -p 445 --script smb-vuln* target.com
# SSL/TLS vulnerability check nmap -p 443 --script ssl-enum-ciphers,ssl-heartbleed,ssl-poodle target.com ```
### 5. Vulnerability Report Generation
**When the user asks for a vulnerability report:**
Generate reports in this structure:
```markdown # Vulnerability Assessment Report **Target:** [Target Name/IP Range] **Date:** [Date] **Scope:** [Authorized scope] **Assessor:** [Name]
